Another Kyrgios sex slur to Wawrinka emerges
Footage has emerged of Nick Kyrgios delivering a second sex-related sledge to opponent Stan Wawrinka.
The furore erupted during the pairâs match at the ATP Montreal Masters, when Kyrgios, referring to young Australian Thanasi Kokkinakis, told the world number five: âKokkinakis banged your girlfriend. Sorry to tell you that, mate.â
Kyrgios has since been fined by the ATP and apologised to Wawrinka, who expressed his anger on Twitter.

⢠Nick Kyrgiosâ behaviour was âreally, really lowâ
⢠Hewitt and Groth show brat pack how itâs done
The second slur is said to have happened before the one in the vision that originally went viral, and it again refers to 19-year-old Croatian player Donna Vekic, who Wawrinka is reportedly dating.
Hereâs video of the second sledge to surface:

âDjokerâ doesnât see the funny-side
World number one ranked tennis player Novak Djokovic has led the criticism levelled toward Nick Kyrgios for his crude comment.
Djokovic, speaking after a win at the same tournament in Montreal, said there is no excuse for that type of barb, no matter what the stakes are.
âI think he was fined, I think itâs official and he deserved it, heâs going to learn a lesson in a hard way,â he said.
âI understand every player goes through certain tantrums and emotional ups and downs in a match, in a big fight, and at this level itâs not easy, I understand.
âBut itâs not fair and thereâs no excuse for directing your tantrums to your opponent and especially to somebody that is not even there.â
Wawrinka, who separated from his wife earlier this year and has been linked to Vekic, said the ATP should take âmajor action this timeâ.
As well as the maximum $10,000 on-site fine, the ATP said they could not rule out further sanctions.
âHe was fined, he deserved it,â added Djokovic. âHeâs young, heâs definitely one of the players that everybodyâs looking to.
âHis quality of tennis is really remarkable for his age. Heâs doing very well.
âIâve never had any problems with him personally. Off the court we had nice chats, practised with each other.â
Kyrgios was back on court later on Thursday and was booed before and after his third round match against John Isner of the United States.
No.16 seed Isner beat the Australian 7-5 6-3 and will face Frenchman Jeremy Chardy, who overcame Ivo Karlovic 4-6 7-6 (7/1) 6-4 after the Croatian had passed the 10,000-ace career mark during his win in the previous round.
